A Visit to the Cyprus Handicraft Centre

Last week, I made a visit to Cyprus Handicraft Centre in Nicosia. For months, I wanted to check out the handicraft center because I thought it was going to have an open market with Cypriots selling their handmade goods. Turns out it is a demonstration of how traditional folk art is made today. In collaboration with the Cyprus government and UN High Commission, the handicraft centre is a place for visitors to watch demonstrations of traditional Cypriot folk art – tapestry, woodwork, pottery, weaving – in one location.

I believe Linus and I were the only visitors of the morning, but it was early by Cypriot standards. The day was still young for more visitors to stop by.
